Congrats to Lynn. I agree with Tom on his visit site comment. I too am very impressed with many of the out of Country commentators who understand the scope of the American scene, far better than many who live in the USA. Perhaps it is the ability to be outside looking in, sometimes they see it clearer than when you are in the middle of the storm. In any case, Lynn offers all who read her comments a good insight. We can all learn from one another.

Thanks for the kind words TC, but I have to correct you on one thing — I have contributed 2 articles and hopefully you have my third in your e-mail inbox. I'm having significant computer problems although so far it hasn't stopped my motor mouth too much.

Thanks everybody! I have really enjoyed learning about US politicsover the past 15 months because it does affect us north of the 49th. Although many of our issues are similar, many are different. Thankfully we do not experience the degree of voter suppression and bigotry that you do. To be warned is to be forearmed. But we do have our own version of Republican/Teabaggerism — it's called Harperism.

Thanks again for all your mentoring everybody!

Oh, BTW, I have no way to communicate with my network as my personal messages only work one way --- you can send and I can read but I can't send anything out! Totally empty address book. Also, thank you for all the cards. Unfortunately, those are affected as well so that to me they are all blank.

You deserve the kudos, Lynn, your posts are always so well thought out and informative they are a pleasure to read - and I love learning (so long as I can manage to remember it!).
